This dining table achieves this with a curved frame of solid walnut and slender, tapered legs that create the illusion of the table floating. The tabletop extends, providing ample space for more than just everyday use.

this particular table dates from the 1960s. The manufacturer and design are unknown, but the style is unmistakable: scandinavian-influenced craftsmanship with a keen sense of proportion. The walnut bears the patina of six decades, minor signs of wear are visible, and the mechanism functions perfectly. A table that has been working since it was made.
